I'm not sure how it works if you do "fedpkg clone -B libfoo", but
probably similar to the CVS setup. If you do just "fedpkg clone" the
branches are managed in git only so the "fedpkg switch-branch f13"
indeed switches you to f13 branch even though it looks like master ;-) 

Personally I use "git merge <branch-to-merge-from>" to sync the branches
(if I have same spec for more than one branch).
